Hubby 223

Chapter 223 Zev Was Hit by His Son

Kelly stood quietly by the door for what seemed like an eternity.

It wasn't until Jasper tumbled off the couch and landed on the floor with a soft thud that Kelly snapped out

of her daze.

Fortunately, there was a mat and carpet on the floor, so the fall wasn't too hard. The little one looked stunned, pouting, his large eyes filled with innocence as he gazed up at Kelly, silently hoping she would come to comfort him. But when she didn't even acknowledge him, he let out a small whimper, fighting back his tears, waiting for the right moment to let them fall.

He stared at his mother with a pout, his long lashes glistening with unshed tears, his large, mixed-race eyes blinking, searching for her attention.

Finally, Kelly moved. She turned and walked toward him. The little boy, now on the brink of tears, waited, but she ignored him and walked past him into the bedroom.

Jasper watched her for a moment, then decided to handle it himself. He managed to comfort himself in the way only a child could.

Inside the bedroom, Kelly stood before the closet, her fingers gripping the handle tightly. She hesitated for what felt like forever before finally opening the door.

The closet door wasn't heavy, but it felt as if it weighed a ton as she opened it.

Inside, Zev, with his tall frame, was curled up in the small space. To be honest, he looked pitiful.

He stared at Kelly, waiting, but didn't speak. He just wore that look of vulnerability, hoping it would tug at her heart.

Kelly looked down at Zev for what felt like an eternity. Her mouth opened, but no words came out. Instead, she climbed into the closet beside him, sitting next to him, resting her head on his shoulder.

Zev froze, staring at her in disbelief, his body tense with confusion.

Kelly didn't say anything. She just gently lifted his arm and crawled into his lap, curling into his chest. She held onto his shirt tightly, her body shaking as she sobbed.
